Background
INZ typically experience high numbers of visa applications
during the summer months. This is when visitor visa
applications peak and international students are looking to apply
for their student visas, for the new academic year.
The recent closure of various INZ processing branches is likely
contributing to the temporary backlogs that INZ are experiencing,
as new offices become familiar with different applications and risk
profiles.
Additionally, INZ will cease processing for approximately two
weeks, over the holiday period.
Who will be impacted
- Individuals who have submitted an application recently, or are
looking to file their visa application in the coming months.
